Hello Caratacus,
...inspiring to read, so I got some ideas about it which I herewith propose.
1) Cheek guards ? (Ear protection attached here or at the helmet-bowl ? )
2) Why not using a numerical system for most parts ? Easier to understand through all the motherlanguages. (Or keep it in Latin ?!)
e.g. yes= 1, no=0 ; unknown= - ; since "Cu" and "Fe" are common knowledge this could stay as a first characteristic/typification.
I know that a typification of different shapes/parts by numbers is open to misunderstandings, but less we subscribe to one "lingua franca" in Archeology, I think that using numbers might have an edge over a description by letters in international use. Open to discussion, though. :wink:
Just my 2 cents ....

...and now for something COMPLETELY diff'rent ....... :wink:
